Originally posted by kalhur we had a very odd dialect in my tribe, but i love it. i understand  very much gorani and hawaramani too. i love dialect of senna and hawrami .  they have very talented musician like mez-her xaleqi  he is absolutely my favourite. kamaran,too and rojan also and many many others. i listen asmuch to kurdish music and some time more than persian. and kurmanji only few i know like sewan perwer i understand his songs very well. it is real fun to listen to music of different kurdish dialects

I listen to a lot of Kurdish music as well.  I don't understand Gorani and Hawrmani much but I still like the music.  I even listen to some Persian music as it sounds familiar as well.

Heres a few Kurmanji songs that are my favs.

Originally posted by kalhur we may should ask cyrus for making a music corner for all iranian and iranic folklores and songs.  from every corner of iran  and  kurdestan, afganestan . tajikestan . uzbakestan azari, kavkas . it would be very nice !

I don't think he will do that as this is a history forum.  But it would be good tho.

Tajik girls are beautiful, I think. Don't know bout their music.

I think Miller is right about the Kurdish word for "father", that is similar to Luri "Boa" and Arabic "Baba" but the word for daughter, as I mentioned in this thread: Kurds are German?:

In Greek gyne means "woman" but in Kurdish that is jin/zjin, in Persian zan and Slavic zena but in Germanic that is kwen/ken (English queen), so like several other words, "g" has been changed to "k" in the Germanic languages, but does "ken" mean "woman" in the Iranian languages too?

The original Hewrami/Gorani word for "daughter" is "Kenacha" ("Ken"=woman + diminutive suffix "cha"), that is similar to Sistani Kenja (Young girl, daughter), Tati/Talysh Kina (little gril, daughter), Gilaki/Mazandarani Kija (daughter), Bojnurdi Khorasani Kechek, Sorani Kizj, ...
